    Any word of a fanzone in Dublin today? Saturday would be a perfect day for one. Be class to do judging from some of the videos I've seen of the Belfast one.

    have you seen the videos of the fanzone down in the IFSC for the last euros?

    absolute muppets in the water, drunk and picking fights with people with families with them.

    Dublin doesn't really "do" large unticketed events very well.

    Was thinking of heading in to this(if there is one) but after being down at the Riverfest/Tall Ships a few weeks ago I'll give it a miss. Events like these seem to attract every junkie/scúmbag in the city and there's never a large enough Garda presence to stop trouble breaking out.

    I was at that and didn't see any of that (apart from the idiots in the water), it was just a good day out. Shame it was ruined for some.

    There is an unofficial fan zone in the hanger, just off Dame St. I'm going to check it out today

    I was there

    We left with about 30 minutes to kick off before the Croatia game. Knackbags and feral scum aots. They had already taken to chucking glass bottles about.

    It got even worse after that.

    The pub we moved to ended up full with others who joined the exodus.

    Very very sad.

    I live down the country and €10 for a burger and a pint seems like highway robbery to me.

    ?

    Pint between 4.50 and 5
    Burger for about 5 to 5.50

    If you're getting a pint and a burger for less than a tenner anywhere; I'd be questioning what it is that you're actually eating and drinking??

    You sure it's beef?

    Was in Plovdiv in Bulgaria this weekend. They had an unofficial fanzine set up. 70c a beer and 30c temperatures. I don't think a Dublin one would work as well :)
